James Marlowe, owner of Marlowe Ink in Fairfax, is hoping to open a second location of his business, offering tattooing and piercing, at a location on King Street in Alexandria, according to an application filed with the City planning commission.
The proposed business for Alexandria, King Street Studios, would be located at 1314 King St. Currently you’ll find Marlowe’s ArtBot Gallery at the location. The gallery was previously located at the Marlowe Ink Fairfax location and specializes in “lowbrow” art and pop surrealism, according to a story from 2013 in The Fairfax Times.
Marlowe, who has owned the Fairfax location since 2001, says the Alexandria business would include a manager, two licensed tattoo artists, a rotating guest tattoo artist and a licensed body piercer.
Proposed hours appear to be:
The proposal is on the City Planning Commission docket Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. Any member of the public can sign up to speak at a meeting. Click the following link to complete a Speaker’s Form: http://survey.alexandriava.gov/s3/Planning-Commission-Speakers-Form

The lengths some will go to to help those with Duchenne ! Mark an avid Manchester City fan and father who’s son is…
Posted by Duchenne Now on Thursday, July 30, 2015
For 38-year-old Manchester City fan Mark Pinder, the sight of the Manchester United crest would be one of disgust.
But now that he’s got it branded on his leg in ink form, it’s a source of happiness to an extent.
Pinder‘s 12-year-old son Kirk has muscular dystrophy, which causes one’s muscles to slowly deteriorate. It’s incurable.
“All you can do is watch your child deteriorate in front of you,” he told the Manchester Evening News (h/t the Independent).
After spending years with his head buried in the sand, as he puts it, he decided to make good of the awful situation. He pledged that if he raised £10,000 to donate to the Duchenne Now charity, which will help trials and research for muscular dystrophy, he’d get the crest of City’s archrivals tattooed on his leg.
Respect.
“I’m buzzing now that I’ve done it,” he said, per the same Independent piece.
He also sold off a boxing glove and a book, both signed by boxing legend Ricky Hatton, as part of his fundraising efforts.
Novoskins and Ink n Cover introduce original and unique Hand Painted Artist Professional Temporary Tattoo designs.
“Fake it Before you Ink it”. Designed for everyone and anyone to test out our tattoo designs before getting a real tattoo.
Many of us wish to have a tattoo, but we question what design to have? How painful is it? Do I really want something permanent?
With our Temporary Tattoos, you get the real life artistry design and look of a real tattoo designed by real tattoo artists, which are easy and fast to apply, pain free and when you want to remove it, you simply wash it off.
Tattoos can be a great fashion accessory for your individual style and look. With our temporary tattoos you can also change your tattoo for any occasion. Great for a night out, clubs, rock concerts, festivals, beach holiday, any occasion to really stand out and make an impression. If you are a model or in a rock band, rapper, DJ, dance crew, these tattoos are great for your promotional photo shoots. Great also to experiment for tattoo placement.
Easy to apply in 4 simple steps (1) Peel off the clear membrane film (2) Position tattoo ink downwards onto part of your body (3) Wet all over or spray water onto the back of the white paper (4) Carefully remove paper and your tattoo is done.
The temporary tattoos are also waterproof so you can easily shower, bathe or get the tattoo wet and it will last. To remove the tattoo you just need water, soap and something to scrub it off.
The temporary tattoo can last anywhere between 1-7 days (average is 2-5 days). This is however dependant on many factors. If you want it to last a long time, do not towel dry your body/ scrub the tattoo after a shower or bath. Anything rubbing against the tattoo can cause it to fade quicker also.
